“Great location, probably packed in summer”

Reviewed Oct 29, 2018

Overall Rating

This very large state campground seemed roomy during the week when we visited in the off-season (October) but even on off-season weekends it was surprisingly crowded. We reserved sites in the O loop because we wanted more open sky and fewer trees to get a little more sun, but the O loop is still pretty forested. Sites O-10 through 12 m...

“Great State Park, Sites Just Okay”

Reviewed Sep 13, 2018

Overall Rating

Fort Stevens is a wonderful park with plenty to see and do in both the park and nearby. Astoria, Seaside, Cape Disappointment, etc., etc., etc. are all withing a short drive. Easy in and out of the park with a dump station as you enter that even has free fresh water.
But the sites leave a little to be desired. They are pretty, sh...

“Theres so much to explore in the park”

Reviewed Sep 01, 2018

Overall Rating

The park is awesome with beaches, river views, historic sites, shipwrecks, biking and hiking trails- everything you could possibly want. And staying in the campground makes it easy to explore all the park has to offer plus you are close to Astoria and Seaside for checking out those towns.
The downside is this is a very busy park wit...

What a lovely state park. It is huge, and has so much to offer, from the fort itself to the Peter Irelade wreck on the beach. Oh, and you can drive on the beach.
Everything was great.
The only reason it doesn't get a 5 star, is because that is reserved for campgrounds that has complete privacy at the site. This one, while ther...

We arrived in Fort Steven’s late in the day Christmas evening. We were surprised to see the information booth was staffed on Christmas. This was appreciated since they were very helpful in getting us settling on a campsite in this large park.
This park charges a different fee for tent camping versus hook ups. The tent sites on K lo...

“Our favorite Oregon state park”

Reviewed Sep 13, 2017

Our favorite Oregon state park! This place is huge and has so much to offer. The campsites are very nice and we fit fine in our 40 ft. 5th wheel. I loved the miles of paved bike trails. We visited the fort/historical area and the ship wreck on the beach. There is a lake where you can fish. The northern tip of the park is beautiful wher...

Folks it doesn't get better than this for a state park. Full hookups, shady sites, plenty of room, great hiking and biking trails, level sites, walkable to the beaches and all for $32 night.
I struggle to find any faults but I will say that you may not get cell service if you don't have a booster. With a booster I was able to pull in...

Not much to say beyond what others have already said.
The only thing I thought I'd add is that at our site (C51), we had 0 bars of AT&T until we put it in the booster. We ended up using the directional antenna and got it to 2 bars, and could regularly get ~2mbit+ transfer rates (we streamed an Amazon TV episode in HD last night). Un...

This is a huge campground with lots to do. It's about a mile hike (bike or drive) to the Peter Iredale shipwreck. There is also the Battery Russell WWII military installation, viewpoints at the mouth of the Columbia River and Fort Clatsup/Lewis and Clark National Historic Park about 10 miles away.
The showers are a bit tricky to o...

Overall Rating

This is a great off-season experience. Place was half-empty and very quiet.
Our site was very much level. We were surrounded by plants and trees giving us a great sense of privacy.
Our loop did not have a sewer hookup. But one could dump on the way out at the dumping station.
Restrooms were the only thing that was below expectation....
